     Posted: 08 Aug 2012 at 4:37am
I am still fairly new to crystal reports, having been only working with them for a few months. I taught myself how to use crystal and have become proficient at most parts of the reports, but one thing i have not figured out how to do is access multiple DB's from one data source connection. IE only make the user enter in the user name and password once instead of the number of times that there are databases being used. If someone can point me on to an example of how to do this it would be greatly appreciated by me and the users I am writing reports for

Thanks

There is no way to do this directly in Crystal.  How are your users "consuming" your reports?  In other words, what are they using to run them?

No, there is no way to make this so that a user only has to log in once.  If you were working with a viewer application that you had written, there might be a way to do it.  But it's not possible with the configuration you're working with.
